    So you're saying Betsy will be bought and paid for by Nike.

    I wonder what Phil wants her to do for him.

    Should probably toss in the sites for some of the other main candidates:

    Christine Drazan (Republican house party leader) https://www.christinefororegon.com/
    Tina Kotek (Democrat, speaker of the house) https://www.tinafororegon.com/
    Bridget Barton (Republican, 30 year legislator) https://www.bridgetbartonfororegon.com/about/
    Tobias Reed (Democrat, State Treasurer) https://www.tobiasread.com/
    Stan Pulliam (Republican, Mayor of Sandy) https://www.stanpulliam.org/home

    Then of course, there's also the journalist Nicholas Kristof, who doesn't have a website, and isn't apparently eligible to run, but he probably deserves mention in this thread.

    Here's some useless trivia - I once helped do a design of Sandy's new (at the time) city hall a shade over 30 years ago. You may now resume your regular viewing with the added caveat that you not throw up all over your keyboard.

    Phils a good guy.....not perfect like the rest of us, but does do a lot of good too. I met him a few times at the Pink Bucket in SE when he was starting up and had his office next door.

    I remember when he interfered in Beaverton politics in a bad way. I think he also supported anther bad candidate for Oregon governor in the past.

    He's generally supported Republicans, so I imagine you think all the candidates he's supported are bad.

    This gal he's supporting now is an old democrat turned independent.

    yeah, at least she rebukes both parties for not getting shit done. You've got to be able to compromise, give and take to get things done and have a working body. Just like a family or marriage if there is nothing but hate and strife how can it be productive. Many marriages require sacrifice and give & take to stay together it cant just be we want everything we want.
